Cathy Wadelton – Senior Regulatory Affairs Associate

Cathy holds a Bachelor of Applied Science (biological sciences) and a Diploma of Education.

For the first fifteen years of her career, Cathy focused on research & development at various biotechnology (biosynthetic vascular grafts), industrial chemistry (shoe- and car-care product development) and biopharmaceutical (CSL plasma products) companies.

During her time at CSL, Cathy was tasked to set up a group within R&D, specialising in method development, validation and quality systems (GLP). Here she authored several characterisation reports for the regulatory group’s registration dossiers, which provided a perfect segue into regulatory affairs-first at a medical devices company and then on to pharmaceuticals at Sigma/Aspen, then Ascent/Actavis and, now, Amneal.

Cathy brings 14 years of regulatory experience in biopharmaceuticals, prescription (branded and generic), OTC and devices. The scientist in her still gets to experiment, though, these days, it’s in the kitchen with new recipes (many of which make their way to work). You can also find Cathy on a bike (on the way to a good coffee), playing the guitar or cuddling her cat.
